Before a VANTHCS rotation, your academic institution must contact the VANTHCS Education Office at 214-857-1164 to determine whether an affiliation agreement exists or must be established. An affiliation agreement is a legally binding document serving as the foundation for the educational contract between VANTHCS and sponsoring academic institutions.

Application Process

Prior to a VANTHCS rotation, all residents, fellows, medical students, and associated health trainees must successfully complete the VANTHCS Trainee Application Process and be fingerprinted. Your clinical rotation will not be authorized until all required documentation is received, reviewed, and approved.
